  1. Re:Imminent death of IPv4 predicted!! on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 1

    Yes but what you don't realise is you are only grabbing off of people who AREN'T NATed. If you had a direct connnection you could grab from everyone who is behind a NAT and everyone with a direct connection(The only people you are currently grabbing from). A NATed machine can't grab from another NATed machine, in Kazaa at least but also in emule and probaly many others.

    You forgot the group that wants to release their code but they also want the assurance that anyone making additions shares back.

  3. Re:What Censorship on Harry Potter in German, not Czech · · Score: 1

    Not that this is a totally just comparison but I heard you saying.. "And people wonder why white supremicists are so pissed at participants in the civil rights movement." Law != morals. Law == Law. Remember that slavery used to be legal.

  5. Re:Microsoft C++ catches this. Doesn't gcc? on Software Code Quality Of Apache Analyzed · · Score: 1

    the real solution to this is to always do boolean expressions like: if(NULL = myPointer) {..} that way you always get an error if you forget == instead of =.

    And at which site are you posting this comment on? Perhaps the final "you" in your post should read "us."

  9. Re:No lower prices on GIF Patent Prepares to Expire · · Score: 1

    Yeah but in the legal definition of patents there is nothing saying you have to use the same license for everyone. So.. I'm sure for a huge customer like adobe the LWZ people make a pretty significant amount of money.

    Dude, thats the reason he said the speed of sound used to be considered a constant. Why are you trying to prove him wrong by saying that the speed of sound is not a constant when in fact he never said that it is.

  11. Re:B & N instead on The Bug by Ellen Ullman · · Score: 1

    How can you possibly blame Amazon for taking out a patent on one-click shopping. If our patent system is so fucked up that they would allow such a rediculous thing, then a person at Amazon could not just say "well we better not file a patent because the founders of the constitution did not envision the purpose of patents to be fucking obvious things that cover common sense" It's the US patent office's fault, and also congress's fault--it is NOT the fault of Amazon. You can not blame a corporate entity for not taking a moral stance on something like this, I'm not saying that when companies take immoral actions in general that you cannot blame them if what they do is technically legal (i.e. IBM & the holocaust), but if you take a look on a case by case basis, there are somethings for which you must blame your congressmen/the voting public. Boycotting every company which owns a software patent is similar to boycotting every company which receives corporate welfare.. its not their fault our politicians are pussies--no, it is our fault for voting the fuckers in in the first place.

    While indeed quake3 is quake3 based, I have a feeling he was talking about other games than quake3 based, all of which don't have linux executables.

  14. Java is not a word for javascript. on Java/Script Alert: Cross-Platform Browser Vulnerability · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They are very different and a vulerability in a browser's implementation of javascript does not imply a problem "in the Java security model itself."

    I wonder, when they typed "games at slashdot dot org" were they trying to prevent spam? If someone were to say type games@slashdot.org in a comment would that override all their efforts as it would be picked up by any spiders on this story?

    I love the tip at the end; the makers of endust are engenius for making a product that temporarily removes dust but causes it to build up faster after its applied. This way when you dust your house with endust, the time til the next dusting (and subsequent purchase of another can of endust) is shortened. Classic.

    I know which controller you speak of, they had it for sega genesis and supernintendo, but (and this is a very important but) there was a controller for the NES that had a little red disc that rotated around. It had a little spot that was raised for your thumb to be placed on and then it could rotate around to all the directions.. Tried searching google for it haven't come up with it yet but I know I'll see itl my neighbor had a controller like this.

    So, should people be allowed to personally own nuclear weapons? What if there was a situation where there is a whole town of "bad guys," and it was radiologically isolated from anywhere else. Now, because this is a possibility, we have to use your "binary" logic; we have to see the world as black and white. Because "badguys" can own nuclear weapons everyone should be able to. Is this what you're saying?
